Chapter 713: No corvee outside the body and change to the human world (2)
The 400-word announcement of "returning native land and returning home" was naturally written by Jiang Fan, chief of staff of the Northern Navy's Western Front Force, Jiang Ziping. After talking to Zhao Xin, he wrote it in less than an hour after returning home.
Zhao Xin only revised a few parts of the original text, and after Liu Sheng and Fan Tong reviewed and approved it, he sent it to Samusu and Bayan in the form of a telegram that night. Afterwards, they hired several people who were responsible for teaching Uyghur language.
The instructor asked them to translate it into Mongolian and Uyghur languages, and in accordance with the order of the headquarters, they chose to announce it on the second day after the attack on Hui Wangfu.
This is really a stone's throw that stirred up a thousand waves. Not to mention the Uyghurs, even the Han people were shocked when they heard about it. They thought that the Bei Navy really dared to do this!
Today's Xinjiang is not the turbulent place where ethnic conflicts intensified in the late 19th century. Since the end of the Xiaohezhuo Rebellion, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has relied on wooing local dignitaries to participate in politics for more than 30 years and used the Zasak system and the Bo system to rule the region.
Coupled with the military system with strong military overtones, the social structure was relatively stable. Although the "Wushi Incident" sounded the alarm, Qianlong's strong suppression and many aftermath measures were taken to ease the social situation in the Huijiang area.
Contradictions played a huge role in stabilizing the northwest border defense.
However, all these efforts were changed due to the frequent military failures of the Manchus and Beihai Town. The Qing government had no time to devote too much energy to the northwest, which led to Hui Wang Burke and his like to strictly prohibit the "hard-working Hui people" previously formulated.
In addition, the Qing government failed to establish a well-organized and effective supervisory system in Xinjiang, which led to oppression of the people and severe corruption.
Liu Sheng, who had been to Hami once, was keenly aware of this and came up with the idea of implementing the "return to local rule". When Zhao Xinfantong was attacked, he happened to be dozing off and hit the pillow, which gave him a sufficient excuse.
"..."The Koran" says that in front of Hu Da, everyone in the world is the same, no matter whether they are high or low. But why can King Hui ride on our heads and dominate us for generations, while we are the same in the world?
Have you been slaves for generations? It’s time to change! Now that we have the Northern Navy supporting us all, we don’t have to carry dirt for the palace this winter, and we won’t have to go back to the palace to work as errands in the future. We can live our lives with peace of mind!"
The midday sun was warm and the wind was not strong. Under the thick jujube tree at the entrance of Altongleke Village, more than 20 Uyghur men gathered. They were all listening attentively to Api's speech.
Speak diligently.
After the public trial, for the purpose of care and protection, Bayan arranged for the couple and their son to go to the logistics team to take care of the animals, take care of food, housing and clothing, and receive a monthly salary of five North Sea dollars, which is really enviable.
Many villagers were attracted. This time, the Apizi couple came back specifically on Wang Rong's commission to publicize the benefits of "returning land to rural areas" to the villagers, and to vaccinate the work teams sent to the countryside in advance.
The villagers were very happy when they heard that they would no longer work for the Prince's Mansion and the Burke Mansion. Although Bei Haijun, who had come to post the notice before, used an electric loudspeaker to broadcast the announcement, but many people did not listen carefully.
The labor required to return to the palace is too heavy for the Uighurs. As serfs, they not only have tens of thousands of acres of land to cultivate and harvest, but farmers also have to provide their own farm tools, seeds, and livestock; in addition, they also need to participate in the transportation of the palace.
, civil engineering, housework and errand labor for the government. The heavy corvee meant that only six or seven days a month could be spent dealing with household affairs. The rest of the time was spent working as errands for the king and officials at all levels. It was not enough for the men to do it alone.
After all, the wife and daughter at home also have to take turns working as servants in the houses of various powerful families.
The most terrible thing is that all the above servants are not paid, and they don't even have to eat scraps.
"Apizi, did Company Commander Wang tell you how much land each family will be allocated in the future?"
"We haven't talked about this yet. I don't know about other villages, but according to Company Commander Wang, our village will still plant the original land."
It is said that the farming system in Xinjiang during the Qing Dynasty was mainly based on the rotation of abandonment and leisure. One hundred acres of land must be planted in three years, which is "two crops and one off". However, the Uyghur people's way of farming is to start farming in spring.
They did not hoe the ground without fertilizing, they just dug holes and scattered the seeds and pulled them down, relying entirely on God to provide them with food.
Apiz then went on to talk about how Beihai Town farmed what he heard from Wang Rong: "...they pay attention to intensive farming. For example, before sowing in spring, the land must be hoeed, fertilizers must be applied, etc.
Now that the wheat seedlings have grown, we still need to weed, and there is a lot to do! Company Commander Wang said that his family has fifty acres of land, and he can harvest more than two hundred dan of wheat every year, or five dan per mu."
The Uyghur villagers present were stunned. They didn't expect that the Han people had so many ways to farm. After a while, someone said: "Really?"
"Hu Da, sir, when did I, Apiz, tell lies? We will find out in a few days when the work team arrives." Apiz patted his chest and assured everyone present.
"Task force? What is that?"
"He's here to help us poor people live a better life. Monitor Yun will also come."
"Oh! He's that sturdy Mongolian man with a bull, right? I haven't seen him for a long time since Sadik's accident."
At the same time, in the small room of the Apiz family, several women in the village were also listening to the hostess Sharhan telling about the new things they had seen in the Beihai Navy.
Shahan talked for a long time, her mouth was dry, and while she was drinking water, a middle-aged woman with a white gauze on her head said sadly: "Oh! If only the Beihai Navy had come a few years earlier, my man
That arm won’t be crippled by Mr. Burke.”
Many women shed tears. They thought of their relatives and friends who died under the whip of Shakzha Parbak, and of those family members who froze to death in the winter just to return to the palace to work as errands...
A young daughter-in-law wearing a green headscarf wiped away her tears and said to Shahan: "You just said that men and women are equal, and you can no longer force a girl to marry by her hair like a sheep. This is really shocking.
happy!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Another woman was obviously more concerned about the problem of a full stomach, waving her hands and saying: "Just listen to it as a joke! Five fingers are not evenly spaced."
, how can men and women be equal? Don’t say this nonsense, otherwise Hazi will be arrested and whipped if he finds out!"
Shahan said: "What are you afraid of? When the work team comes, if anything happens, let them make the decision. How many of those Hazi can speak for us poor people?"
Five days later, Jiang Fan and his party arrived at Hami City. He took a short rest and held a meeting of officers above the Hami garrison company in the morning of the next day.
He first read out the order issued by Liu Sheng at the meeting. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Beijun navy of Hami and Barkol will form a work team to go to the countryside in platoon units and station it in the 38th village of Liuxiang, which belongs to Huiwang fiefdom.
Mobilize the people, carry out land, pasture and population census work, disseminate Beihai Navy's policies, and teach Beihai Town's farming techniques.
Liu Sheng took a precautionary measure in this order, emphasizing that "reforming the land and returning it to the local people" could never be achieved with a single announcement. We must be careful of being impatient and not copying the methods used in the Khalkha pastoral area, otherwise something will definitely go wrong.
.
The Hami area has ethnic and religious issues that are different from those in the past. Large-scale land reform must not be carried out until the grassroots people have been mobilized and farmers' associations composed of Uighur backbones have not been established in every village and township. Only when the grassroots forces are fully prepared, can we carry out large-scale land reform?
Only then can we implement it step by step.
He also quoted Zhao Xin's words at the end, that is, everything we do has one purpose in the final analysis, which is to significantly improve the lives of the people in Hami with practical help. Only in this way can the Northern Navy win the sincere support of the Uyghur people and bring Xinjiang to the east.
The road was built as a rear base for the Western Front troops to ensure the stability of the northwest border defense.
Since the Beihai Navy was dispatched to take over all affairs inside and outside the city, it began to go door to door to apply for identity cards for men in the city. Without this, they would not even be able to go to the mosque outside the city to pray on "Judgment Day". As for being under house arrest
The palace officials such as King Hui and Dadaiji who are in a state of being are definitely not allowed to leave the city; there is a mosque in the palace of Hui Wang, and you can go there if you want to "gather a ceremony".
It is precisely because of this that the imams who presided over the prayers, the king of Hui and other dignitaries had much better news, so they all knew about "the attack on the Northern Navy", "abolition of corvee", and "return to the land".
.
At this moment, these people are both regretful and afraid. What they regret is that they should not have listened to the promotion and the promotion and became enemies of the Beihai Navy. What they are afraid of is that they don’t know what the Beijun Navy will do to them, in case there is another public trial.
At the conference, he was escorted to the stage with his naked body tied up, and the mud-legged people from all over the country stood below and were spurned and laughed at. It was simply more uncomfortable than death.
In addition, the drones of the North Navy have made the dignitaries in the city extremely frightened. As long as the weather is good and it is not windy or snowy, several drones will fly around in the sky on the way back to the city. Although many people cannot understand it, through the sand
In the case of Kezapar, we also learned that it was the "eye in the sky" of the Northern Navy. Of course, they had cursed it countless times, but the drones would still come, day or night.
Erdsil and others were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and naturally did not want to sit still and wait for death. They spread the news through the imam of the royal palace, intending to incite public opinion and initiate a civil uprising; at the same time, they submitted letters many times, begging for an interview.
Bayan, in his words, wanted to exchange for the continuation of the royal family in exchange for a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry and payment of taxes.
The Western Front Command has been prepared for this. Unlike the top-down "reform the land and return it to the people" method used by the Manchu and later Republic of China warlords, every time the Northern Navy promotes social change, it does so by mobilizing the people at the bottom. Hami
While posting notices, the garrison troops also carried out propaganda in Uyghur in each village. The common people are not fools. Anyone who sincerely treats them has the same heart as Ming Jing'er. Therefore, although there are people who are bewitched, most of them are old people.
Those with vested interests have no influence.
Since arriving in Hami, the officers and soldiers of the North Navy have learned the Uyghur language, are fair in their dealings, do not molest women, and respect national beliefs. Especially the public trial of two Uqiboks a while ago has made many ordinary people see the difference of this army.
Even the Han people in Hami say that the style of the Beihai Navy is that of the legendary Yue Family Army who "will not demolish houses even if they freeze to death, and will not plunder even if they starve to death".
How could the imperial court win with such an army?!
At noon on the third day after the mobilization meeting, more than 600 cavalry from two battalions, led by Jiang Fan, Bayan and others, surrounded more than 20 sedan-style carriages from the north and east gates.
They entered Hami and returned to the city respectively. Then these people dispersed into several teams according to their assigned tasks and went to various predetermined targets.
Hearing the rumble of horse hooves coming from the street, many people peeked through the door cracks, and some brave ones even climbed up to the roof. When they saw the cavalry heading back to the palace, Taiji mansion, and the barracks and school grounds
As the place whizzed away, I knew something big was going to happen.
Dadai Guillaumet had already finished the noon ceremony with his family. Because he was so preoccupied, he had not eaten lunch. He was about to take a nap when he heard the door of the courtyard. The Northern Navy officer in charge of guarding him came in and stood there.
Someone shouted in the courtyard: "Dataiji, our deputy brigade commander has arrived and wants to see you in the official hall, please!"
Ermet was shocked, knowing that today was probably a showdown, so he gave a few instructions to his frightened wife, concubine, and several children, then changed into the clothes to greet guests, and then stood up to his eldest son and the housekeeper
Accompanied by the police, he walked out of the backyard. What made his heart tremble was that the number of Beihai navy in Taiji Mansion today was obviously more than double that of usual. When he came to the door of the official hall, there were dozens of people standing here.
The Beihai Navy soldiers were all standing tall and straight, looking straight ahead, with a murderous air.
Ermot suppressed the violent beating in his heart, took two deep breaths, asked the housekeeper to wait at the door, opened the door and stepped into the house. Unexpectedly, the father and son were stunned as soon as they entered.
I saw a square table in the middle of the official hall, filled with all kinds of Hui Xinjiang delicacies. In the white steam, you can see the fragrant and yellow roasted suckling sheep, pilaf covered with dried fruits, and golden roasted naan.
, saddle-shaped parmudin (similar to baked buns), dried cantaloupe. And on the main seat, sitting a man in military uniform with a shiny bald gourd, the same man he had seen many times before
of Bayan.
The father and son touched their left chests with their right hands, bowed and said: "I pay homage to Brigadier Bayan. Ishalam, Alikum!"
"Erikum, Alicum!" Bayan smiled and stood up to greet him. The two soldiers standing beside him opened their seats. Bayan also personally poured tea for the father and son, invited them to sit down, and said: "
Dadaiji, please sit down and talk. Although we haven't seen each other for a long time, we have interacted with each other many times, so there is no need to be polite."
"this......"
"This is what our Commander Liu asked me to prepare. He said that the last time he came to Hami, he was warmly entertained by Dadai Ji. Now he has many affairs in the north of Tianshan Mountain and can't get away from it, so I will express my gratitude on his behalf."
Ermott and his son looked suspicious, stared at Bayan's face and sat down with their buttocks tilted. Bayan picked up the wine flask, filled the father and son with warm kumis, poured a glass for himself, and stood up with it.
Said: "Come, let me toast Dadaiji first. I am grateful to Dadaiji for taking care of me these days in Hami. Some unpleasant things have happened recently, and I have wronged you and your son. Please!"
Although Muslims have a precept against drinking alcohol, the Uighurs in Hami do drink alcohol, especially the wine made from Turpan grapes, which has been famous all over the world since the Uighur Kingdom. In addition, kumiss has become popular since the Song Dynasty, and by the Yuan Dynasty
In modern times, distilled liquor brewed from grains became available.
After finishing a glass of wine with trepidation, Bayan rambled on, talking about neither cold nor hot. He first talked about the weather and then asked about his health. Anyway, he just didn’t mention anything serious. Ermott had a ulterior motive, and when he saw him, he never said anything about "returning to the soil and returning home."
"Flow", I couldn't help but feel a little anxious, so I winked at the eldest son opposite.
Ermot's eldest son is also Taiji. According to the hereditary system of returning to the palace, he will be Taiji from now on. Seeing his father's wink, he asked tentatively while Bayan was pouring wine: "
Please also ask Brigadier Ba to tell my subordinates when the troops returning to the palace and Taiji Palace will be withdrawn and my father, son and family will be free?"
"Come on, come on, we'll leave today." Bayan couldn't help but pick up the cup again. The father and son had no choice but to drink another cup with him.
After drinking two large glasses of kumiss, the warm aroma of the wine steamed upwards along their lower abdomens, making the Ermotts a little tipsy for a while, and they couldn't help but relax. Seeing that Bayan wanted to pour the wine, Ermott quickly declined.
Said: "I really can't drink anymore."
Just as he was talking, an officer opened the door and came in. He walked closer and whispered to Bayan: "Brigade Commander, it's almost time. The Chief of Staff has sent someone to ask."
"I know." Bayan nodded and stood up. The smile on his face had disappeared and he said in a cold tone: "Big Taiji, Xiao Taiji, I have said all the ugly things, but things still got to this point. Some
I have to do it."
Only then did the Ermotts and his son realize that something was wrong. Their faces turned pale with fright, and they sat motionless in their chairs. Behind them, four tall and round Beijinmen were already holding down their shoulders.
Bayan took out a folded piece of paper from his jacket pocket, opened it and read: "Northern Navy Western Front Command Order, Ermott, as the head of the palace, knows the law and breaks the law! He protected the murderer Shake Zapar,
The Yin knot of the Manchu Qing Dynasty led the ministers of Barkol and Sheng'e, and dispatched the escort cavalry back to the palace, sneaked into the northern foot of Tianshan Mountain, and killed seven of our officers and soldiers. Both witnesses and material evidence are available. It is now approved to arrest him and escort him back to the Western Front Headquarters for interrogation.
conviction!"
After Bayan finished reading, he placed the arrest warrant in front of Ermott and said in a deep voice: "Dataiji, go in a down-to-earth manner. As long as your family members don't make trouble, we won't make it difficult for them - come!"
"arrive!"
"Tie them both up and take them away!"
Before they finished speaking, the soldiers behind the two men had already begun to take action. They pushed the father and son's arms back hard, took out the straps and put them on their wrists.
The Ermotts and his son felt pain in their arms, and finally realized what they were doing. They struggled and shouted in unison: "I am Hui Wang's uncle (cousin)! I am a hereditary Taiji! You can't arrest me!"
However, after several Beihai navy tied their hands, they then tied their feet, then took out the prepared tape to seal the mouths of the father and son, and finally put a black hood on them. When everything was ready, they
They were carried out of the official hall by a team of two, with one under the armpits and without their feet touching the ground. After leaving the house, they were directly put into the carriage that had been waiting for a long time.
Although the father and son tried to struggle, the two escorting Beijun soldiers pressed their knees against their backs and thighs, making them unable to move at all. They could only listen to the wheels rolling under them.
After that, the carriage, escorted by dozens of cavalry, quickly left the city and headed straight for the Tianshan winding road.
The same scene was played out almost at the same time in various locations controlled by the North Navy in Hami City.
The governor, the deputy governor, the assistant leader, the knight school, the fifth-grade ceremony, the sixth-grade ceremony, and Uqi Burke were treated in the same way as Ermott and his son. After being tied up, they were quickly taken away and stuffed with blue
In a carriage covered by cloth, he immediately left the city and was sent to Jingyuan, the ancient city and other places for centralized custody.
Returning to the meeting hall of the palace, Jiang Fan, who was wearing a straight military uniform, said in a cold tone to the middle-aged man sitting in the hall: "It's getting late. Please don't delay, the prince. The carriages are waiting outside!"
Erdesil, who looked extremely pale, slumped on the chair with his whole body weak and weak, and said in a trembling voice: "Master Jiang, I have never resisted King Zhao's heavenly soldiers!"
"That's wrong! Before I came here, Commander Liu made it clear that returning to the royal family to fight against the Junggars and quell the Hezhuo rebellion and the Wushi Incident would be a great service to the country! Although he had been loyal to the Manchus before, that was not considered
What! But now that the prince is loyal to King Zhao, he will go to Beihai Town to pay a pilgrimage to the future emperor like the princes of the Khalkha alliance banners! It is already too late for the prince to set off now. By then, all the Khalkha guests will have arrived.
It is really wrong to just let King Zhao wait for the prince alone."
Jiang Fan shook his head and said. What he said was really not nonsense. Zhao Xin sent a telegram the day before yesterday, telling Liu Sheng how Fan Tong should deal with the Wang family and all the dignitaries.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Cutting the grass and roots? It is really not necessary. Beihai Town has such a large area. If you find a few nooks and corners to separate them, they will not be able to go back in this life. Zhao Xin means to put people first
They are all sent to Beihai Town. Except for Hui Wang and his family, who will be placed under residential surveillance, the others can be sent to Borneo to stay with a few indigenous sultans. After all, everyone has the same beliefs!
Erdesir said in a trembling voice: "Master Jiang, since he is the emperor of Hajj, how can he be in such a hurry? I always prepare special products and tributes, and then ask the chief imam to predict the departure date."
Jiang Fan cupped his hands toward Dongfang and said: "There is no need for specialties or anything like that. His Royal Highness, King Zhao, values his heart. As for divination and choosing a date, there is no need. I have studied "Yi" for many years and know a little about divination. What you need to know today
It is an auspicious day in the zodiac, everything is suitable and there are no taboos!"
Erdsil almost cried. It was obvious that he had to go whether he wanted to go or not. He knew very well that as long as he left and returned to the palace today, he would never come back in this life. Thinking of standing outside the council hall
He couldn't help but sigh and shed tears as dozens of tough Northern Navy soldiers stood beside him.
Finally, he begged Jiang Fan to choose one of his nephews to live in Altonlek Village to protect the family cemetery. Jiang Fan couldn't refuse such a thing, so he agreed after thinking for a while.
Two hours later, eight carriages carrying the returning Wang family and some luggage, escorted by more than 200 cavalry, quickly drove out of Hami and returned to the city.
Since the first generation Hui King Ebedulla left the Junggar Khanate, he wrote a letter to Kangxi to attach himself to, and requested to move to Tunsu Prefecture, and was named "Zhasak First Class Darhan". He went through Guopabake, Emin, and Yusufu.
, Isaac and Erdsil lived for a total of six generations, which lasted for ninety-seven years. The so-called "old prosperity of the palace, terraces and pavilions" reflects a hundred years of vicissitudes, but it is nothing more than this.
